    The kickoff event at Hotel Ziggy had popcorn everywhere, and I do mean EVERYWHERE! Internet Social media influencers joined the fun and filmed themselves throwing popcorn in the air and eating popcorn while they took slow motion videos on the yellow popcorn carpet. The event even had a designated popcorn duty officer who swept up popcorn as fast as it fell.

    The event ran from 2pm – 8pm. The early hours were designated for children who were so excited to be able to throw popcorn in the air.  The evening was when the DJ party began spinning tunes and drinks.  The invited social influencers enjoyed filming with a slow-motion camera, photo booth, Lifesize pool ball, a meditation room & of course the best popcorn.
